VULNERABLE HUMMINGBIRD SPECIES

10% CHANCE OF EXTINCTION WITHIN 100 YEARS

Mexican Woodnymph

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Thalurania ridgwayi
CONSERVATION STATUS: Vulnerable  (Population decreasing)

The Mexican Woodnymph is a species of hummingbird that has a small population size, which is considered to be in declines as a result of continuing habitat loss. Therefore, it is listed as Vulnerable. It is endemic to western Mexico. Its habitats include subtropical or tropical moist lowland/foothill forest and plantations. Its population size is about 6000 - 15000.

White-tailed Hummingbird

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Eupherusa poliocerca
CONSERVATION STATUS: Vulnerable  (Population decreasing)

The White-tailed Hummingbird is a species of hummingbird endemic to subtropical moist forest in the westernmost portion of the Sierra Madre del Sur in Guerrero and extreme western Oaxaca, Mexico.

Its tiny range is threatened by habitat loss. It has a very small range in which there is a rapid and continuing decline in the extent, area and quality of suitable habitat. The range is so small that it would qualify as Endangered, but it is known from more than five locations and is thus considered Vulnerable. Its population size is about 6000 - 15000.

Black Inca

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Coeligena prunellei
CONSERVATION STATUS: Vulnerable  (Population decreasing)

The Black Inca is a species of hummingbird found only in Colombia. It has a larger range and population than previously thought. Nonetheless, its range is still highly fragmented and habitat patches are decreasing in size and quality through ongoing degradation and clearance for agriculture. It is therefore considered Vulnerable. Its population size is about 2500 - 9999.

Little Woodstar

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Chaetocercus bombus
CONSERVATION STATUS: Vulnerable  (Population decreasing)

The Little Woodstar is a species of hummingbird that has a large range, but it is severely fragmented, and only a fraction is likely to be occupied. It qualifies as Vulnerable because the dearth of recent records suggests that the population may now be small, comprised of very small subpopulations, and declining significantly owing to rapid rates of deforestation. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Its population size is about 2500 - 9999.

Pink-throated Brilliant  

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Heliodoxa gularis  
CONSERVATION STATUS: Vulnerable  (Population decreasing)

The Pink-throated Brilliant is a species of hummingbird that is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss. Based on a model of future deforestation in the Amazon basin it is suspected that the population of this species will decline rapidly over the next three generations, and it has therefore been uplisted to Vulnerable.

Dot-eared Coquette  

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Lophornis gouldii  
CONSERVATION STATUS: Vulnerable  

The Dot-eared Coquette is a species of hummingbird, found in Bolivia and Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and heavily degraded former forest. Based on a model of future deforestation in the Amazon basin it is suspected that the population of this species will decline rapidly over the next three generations, and it has therefore been uplisted to Vulnerable.
